Detail
| Al Viro and Alan Cox discovered several maths overflow errors in NetPBM, a set of graphics conversion tools. These programs are not installed setuid root but are often installed to prepare data for processing. These vulnerabilities may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 9.20-8.2. The old stable distribution (potato) does not seem to be affected by this problem. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 9.20-9. We recommend that you upgrade your netpbm package. |

|---|---|
| 4810 | Netpbm Multiple Unspecified Math Overflows Several local overflows exist in NetPBM. NetPBM fails to properly validate user suplied input while processing internal calculations, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause local denial of service situations and potentially execute arbitrary commands on the system, resulting in a loss of integrity, and/or availability. |
